Denture Types We Offer
Whether you are missing a few teeth or an entire arch, our team is dedicated to restoring both the function and beauty of your smile with the following solutions:
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace every tooth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Dr. Matouk designs them to fit securely against the gum tissue and support the natural contours of your jaw and face.
Modern full dentures look far more natural than the bulky appliances of decades past. Dr. Matouk selects materials and tooth shading that produce a natural result, one that suits your age, skin tone, and facial structure, rather than looking uniform and artificial.
Full dentures suit patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches, or whose remaining teeth are too damaged to save. Before recommending them, Dr. Matouk will conduct a full assessment of your oral health and, if implant-supported options are a better fit for your situation and budget, she will discuss those as well.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used to fill the spaces caused by missing teeth when your remaining natural teeth are intact. They attach to surrounding teeth using clasps or precision attachments. They’re removable; you take them out for cleaning and sleeping.
A well-fitted partial denture restores chewing function, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and helps maintain natural facial support.
And it completes the appearance of your smile without altering healthy surrounding teeth.
Dr. Matouk designs partial dentures to blend with your existing teeth in color and proportion. The goal is a result that looks like your natural smile, not a patch.
Denture Services We Provide
Our team provides the expert care required to extend the life of your current dentures through:
Denture Repairs
We handle a wide range of denture repairs, including cracks, chips, broken clasps, and missing denture teeth, often the same day. Bringing your damaged denture in promptly prevents further breakage and avoids the cost of a full replacement. Avoid home repairs with household adhesives; they can permanently damage the appliance and make professional repair more difficult.
Denture Adjustments
Adjustments are for pressure points, loose areas, and fit problems that come between relines. If your denture causes a sore spot, creates clicking when you speak, or shifts when you chew, Dr. Matouk adjusts the fit rather than leaving you to manage the discomfort.
Small adjustments made promptly prevent bigger fit problems from developing. Dr. Matouk encourages patients to call rather than wait when something feels off.
The Dentures Process at Matouk Family Dentistry
Dr. Matouk examines your mouth, reviews your dental and medical history, and takes digital X-rays where needed. She discusses all available options, full, partial, immediate, or implant-supported, and gives you a clear picture of what each involves before you decide anything.
She takes precise impressions of your gum tissue and remaining teeth. These are the basis of your custom denture. Dr. Matouk takes an impression of your bite and selects tooth shading to complement your natural look.
She will arrange for you to have a try-in appointment prior to your final denture being made. At this appointment, you will try on a wax model of your denture to check the fit, look, and bite. Any adjustments that are needed are done at this time before finalizing the denture.
Dr. Matouk delivers your finished denture and seats it carefully. She checks your bite, evaluates comfort, and makes chairside adjustments on the spot. You leave with a denture that fits correctly from day one.
New dentures always require a settling-in period. Dr. Matouk schedules follow-up appointments in the weeks after delivery to address any sore spots, fit issues, or bite irregularities that develop as you adapt.
Why Choose Us for Denture Care in Houston, TX
Dentures are not a one-size-fits-all appliance. The quality of the result depends entirely on how carefully the dentist takes records, selects materials, and fits the finished product. Dr. Matouk graduated Magna Cum Laude from The University of Texas at San Antonio.
She finished at the top of her class at the University of Texas School of Dentistry, a background that reflects the level of clinical precision she brings to every restorative case, including dentures. The practice has earned hundreds of 5-star Google reviews. One long-term patient noted she has visited the practice for nearly 20 years and actually enjoys going to the dentist, a standard the team works to maintain with every patient they see.
The practice offers denture warranties and handles repairs and relines in-house. You don’t need to deal with a lab or a third-party repair service. When something needs attention, Dr. Matouk and her team address it directly, often the same day.
For patients seeking greater long-term stability, Dr. Matouk also places dental implants in the same office. Patients who start with conventional dentures and later want implant-supported stability can pursue that path without changing providers, without starting over with a new clinical relationship, and without being transferred to someone who doesn’t know their case.
On the financial side, the practice accepts all PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, United Concordia, GEHA, Ameritas, Careington, Unum, and Lincoln. Many plans cover a portion of denture costs.
The team verifies coverage before treatment begins and presents all costs clearly. For remaining balances, CareCredit financing breaks payments into manageable monthly installments.

Had a fantastic experience with Dr. Matouk. I called with a tooth emergency on the weekend and she was able to get me in right away and fix my broken tooth. Dr. Matouk is very professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dentures last?
Full dentures typically last seven to ten years, although regular relines and adjustments may be needed during that time. Partial dentures have a similar lifespan. Bone and gum changes affect fit over time; regular relines and adjustments extend the life of your denture significantly.
How long does it take to adjust to dentures?
Most patients need four to eight weeks to feel comfortable with new dentures. Speaking feels odd at first. Eating takes some relearning. Both get easier faster than most people expect. Dr. Matouk schedules follow-up appointments during this period, not as a formality, but to catch and fix any fit or comfort issues before they become a bigger problem.
Do dentures affect eating?
They do initially. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. As you adapt, you can return to most foods. Some hard or very sticky items require ongoing care regardless of how long you’ve worn dentures.
How do I clean my dentures?
Remove them daily. Brush with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly before putting them back in. Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution. Never use regular toothpaste; it scratches the surface and creates areas where bacteria collect.
